The Rev. Or. Stockbridgc, whose unfortunate
attempt TO catalogue the "Harris Collection OF
American poetry We reviewed a few days ago, has
written US at great length In commentator OF
his own work. For his own sake We are glad that
he is pleased with It f; but tho public not being
clamorous for his opinion on that subject we need
not print his communication. There Is only one
specific criticism OF ours which he challenges. We
complained that he set down Mrs. Anne C. Lynch
Botta as dead. IIe replies by requesting us To
turn TO the last edition 1850 Of Lippncott's
Biographical Encyclopaedia p. 43o, near the bot
tom OF tho right hand column OF the page,
where We infer that he finds authority for his
statement "and II Joseph Thomas. NJ. d., LID.
is not competent authority he asks triumphanty.
"who isp' On this question, we should say
unhesitatingly, Mrs Botba. As she has kept on
writing and printing books, and doing other
pleasant things ever since DIR. Stoc<brid2e insists
that she died, seventeen years ago. the presump-
lions are all in her favor At any rate, II DIR.
Stockbridge makes an issue Of vcracity about this
matter between Mrs. Botta and Joseph Thomas.

tho lady.

There Is at least one citizen OF jefferson County
who can be depended upon in the future to keep
the sidewalk in front Of his premises in good not
tn say immaculate, condition This citizen
allowed a large quantity OF snow to accumulate
upon his sidewalk one hnplcss day in 1885, and
was promptly and properly fined for so doing The
fine cost him 81 and the costs "a 7G. Instead OF
taking his punishment in u Christian spirit and
resolving that never again would he disregard
the rights OF the public. this citizen Of Jefferson
County stifencd his neck, hardened his heart and
appealed. First he asked the County Court to
reverse the decision. That cost him SO 80. but
the County Court declined. Then he went to the
General Term with his snowy sidewalk, but the
General Term refused 10 remit the fine. The
way of the trans2ressor who declines to keep his
sidewalk clean is hard in Jefferson County.
But alas! in the County Of Ncw-Yor1 it Is as soft
as "downy beds OF ease.'

Mr.. Blaine has been taking Wes-
tern trip. The big men in the Re-
publican party are beginning to stir.
The next National campaign ap-
proaches, and available candidates for
the Presidency are becoming mani
fest. We should like to see Blaine
President. We should like to see a
Blaine President. We should like to
see a great many great Republicans,
in turn, in that position. Yet it
seems to us that John Sherman is the
most promising candidate for the Re
publicans next year 1t will be a
great task to get the Democracy out,
we might as we'll admit this in pass
ing along. But there is a possibility
of doing it, and John Sherman, above
all other men, it seems to US. is the
man we should chose for leader in
the assault upon the Democratic for
tress. Sherman is the man.

DehOrning Cattle or Calves.

Fl. FL. Haaff, in a mild way, has
thrown down the gauntlet to me. [
admit that it is cruel to dehorn either
in calfhood or adult age, but necessity
knows no law. | have felt like talk
ing to my wife when she held baby's
nose to force down its throat some
nauseating medicine. But it was for
his good, and | kept quiet. 1t was
shown in Farmer of Feb. that | was
correct in one statement, date, page,
and article being given. | never de-
MED that Bro. Haatf sawed horns off
seven years ago, and do not care if it
was seventeen years ago. But that
does not make it any better 1t is
still cruel practice, forced by neces-
sity, and | regret that we have to do
it. | cordially assent to the doctrine
that the beautiful horns are not
necessary to cattle in a domestic state,
but on the contrary, positive detri-
ment.
Dehorning has been has been prac-
ticed in Scotland, but in comparative
ly few instances since the Short-horn
made an inroad upon the Black Polls.
At this time it is a common practice
when a Golf is born, to see if there is
a nubbin likely to grow, and if there
is the least appearance it is picked off
as if it were a wart, and that is all
there is of it. [ mean where the poll
ed breed is kept. But | never knew
of an Englishman or Scotchman saw
ing off the horns, and [ never heard of
any one but Mr.. Haaff being prosecut-
ed for cruelty of this kind.
What [ said about the attachment
Of the horn to the skin is correct. Re-
move the skin and the attachments
around the embryo horn and it will
die. Ii the young horn is cut off and
the pith exposed, it will not grow, but
if the top is cut without exposing the
sensitive pith, it will grow. Few
stockne but what have seen a young
horn knocked off, but no one ever saw
a new horn grow in its place. | have
seen horns two inches long knocked
off, and the sensitive part remain the
same after eight years exposure. Mr..
IL. cannot produce one letter from the
hundred he has received, proving that
the horn cut off properly kept right
on growing. 1t is impossible. The
that feeds the horn sub
stance is cut off when the horn is re-
moved, as proved in every case where
the horn has been knocked off or
or properly removed. The periosteum
adheres to the horn and not to the
pith. When the horn is removed
starvation takes place.
Most Of stockmen who have written
on the subject approve my plan of de-
horning in calfhood in preference to
saving off the horns after grown,
though | maintain this to be right,
from necessity. Removing the en-
bryo horn on the calf is far prefera-
BILE. | should like to hear Prof. Hen
rvs opinion on dehorning in calfhood.

CONSUMPTION CURED

An old physician, retired from practice,
having had placed in his hands by an
East India Missionary the formula of a
simple vegetable remedy for the speedy
and permanent cure of Consumption,
Bronchitis, Batarrh, Asthma and all
Throat and Lung Affections, also posi-
tive and radical cure for Nervous Debil-
ity and all nervous complaints, after hav-
ing tested its wonderful curative powers
in thousands of cases, has felt it his duty
to make it known to his suffering fellows.
Actuated by this motive and desire to
relieve human suffering, 1 will send free
of charge, to all who desire it, this recipe,
in German, French of English, with fun
directions for preparing and using. Sent

Saved His Life

Mr.. d.. Wilcoxson, of Horse Cave,
KY, says he was, for many years, bad
ly afflicted with Phthisic, also Diabe-
tes; the pains were almost uncomfortable
and would sometimes almost throw
him into convulsions. He tried Elec-
trio Bitters and got relief from first
bottle and after taking SIX bottles,
was entirely cured, and had gained in
flesh eighteen pounds. Says he posi-
lively believes he would have died, had
it not been for the relief afforded by
Electric Bitters. Sold at fifty cents a
bottle by E. D. Lewis.

Why Start a Creamery?

There are several conditions leading
farmers to consider the wisdom of
starting creameries. Among these are
the need of more grass and less plow-
ing, as means of saving the soil and
reducing the cost of cultivation; the
reduction of labor in the house; the
increase of manure made ON the farms,
and decreasing the amount of fertil-
izers carried off annually in the form
Of grain and hay. Will the creamery
help to secure any of these desirable
ends?
That less blowing and more grass
would be secured is evident. The hill
sides which have been denuded and
cultivated until the soil has mostly
disappeared, could be laid down to
grass, and planted with enough trees
to give comfortable shade for cattle,
and, on the southern slopes, protect
the grass from burning out in the dry,
hot weather. Grass would protect
and improve the value of all such
slopes, and add to the income and re-
duce the labor and expense Of manage
ment of such lands Along the Miami
and its tributaries the per cent. of hill
to bottom lands is large. Hence the
necessity Of a system Of farming
which will keep up the value of this
large per cent. Of our lands.
The reduction of labor in the house
follows with the reduction of plow
land But, in addition to the decrease
of number Of men and teams, giving
less men to feed at the farmers table,
there comes the greater saving Of la
Dor to the farmers wives by relieving
them of the severe labor of caring for
the milk. Milking, churning, work
ing and packing butter, and washing
and securing milk pans, churn and
butter bowls, are all heavy work,
which must be done regularly, no
matter how disagreeable the weather
or how weary or worn the house
keeper.
Butter-making is not a work that
can be handed over to the average
hired girl. 1t needs the scrupulous
care and thorough cleanliness which
come only with personal pride and in
terest in the work and result. Since
factories have drawn out of reach the
majority of the female hired help,
there is a pressing necessity for some
change of method in the farmhouse
whereby the farmers wife and daugh-
ter can have this burden lightened or
removed entirely.
The Creamery offers the relief
sought. When once the farmer ar
ranges to make the change and in
crease the number Of cows and sell
the cream, the work of making butter

WELSH STUDENTS IN THE OHIO
UNIVERSITY.
BY PROF. D. j. EVANS, ATHENS, O.


IA portion of an article in the April Cambrian. ]
Nothing final was done, however,
until 1904, when the Legislature of
Ohio passed bill naming and organ
izing the University, and setting apart
for its support two townships Of land.
This is the oldest institution Of learn
ing, with one exception, west of the
original thirteen States; and was the
first for many years in the Northwest,
and students hocked to its halls from
the North, West and South.
The land set apart for its support
was leased with a certain rate of its
value for rent, and this rent was paid
to the college treasury. As the land
increased in value, it was at stated
periods, re-appraised, and the income
of the college correspondingly in
creased. But, in 1S42, the Legisla-
ture commanded the trustees to lease
the land 'for 80 years, renewable for
ever" at six per cent. of its value at
that time; to guarantee to the lessees
that the land would never be reap
praised after leasing; and it also ex-
empted the lessees from State taxa
tion.
The first building was erected in
1903, and opened for students in 1909.
and on the first day there were three
students enrolled.
The first diploma was awarded in
1915, and the first name among its
alumni, as we'll as among the college
graduates Of Western America, was
Thomas Ewing, a name so illustrious
afterwards among the great names of
our country.
The college was thrown open to
women in 1871, and the first alumni
was in the class of 1878.
The original building was torn
down, and another put up on its site
site in 1917. This building, remod-
eled, however, Ia 1882, still stands, the
oldest college building in the West.
In looking over the catalogues, | see
the names of many that | know were
Welsh young men; and these, [ be-
lieve, will be interested in this brief
sketch of this venerable Institution of
learning.
The greatest number Of Welsh that
matriculated at the Ohio University
were from the settlement known as
jackson and Gallia."
The first name that | find on the
rolls is that of Rev. B. W. Chidlaw,
D. D., a name we'll known to-day
throughout the country in connection
with Sabbath School and benefcent
work. He finished the course as far
as the end of the Junior year, but
graduated at the Miami University,
Oxford, O.
Mr. Chidlaw matriculated in 1928.
From that time until 1851, LIDO not
find any Welsh students enrolled. But
since 1851, | find only one year in
which no Welsh name appears. The
greatest number Of Welsh, as we'll as
of students, in attendance in any one
year appears in the catalogue of
1861.
Among the alumni there are seven
Welsh, viz: Hon. Alban Davies,
Pomeroy, o., class of 1859; Rev. T. L.
Hughes, Fort Wayne, Ind, class Of
The Jackson standard. [volume] (Jackson C.H., Ohio) 1847-1888, 1887-04-07

1869; Prof. D. J. Evans, Athens, O.,
class of 1871; E. J. Jones, Esq, Ath-
ems, o., and M. J. Morgan, deceased,
class of 1878; Dan. Matthews, class
of 1876; and L. A. Jones, Esq, Jack
son c. H., o., class of 1881.
There were no Welsh among the
trustees or in the Faculty until 1882,
when Ptof. D. J. Evans was appointed
Professor of Latin.
Below | append the names of the
Welsh that have attended since 1851.
that | do not know to have been
Welsh-speaking, or the son of
Welsh-speaking father. Besides the
alumni already named, few finished
the Junior year, while, on the other
hand, only four or five attended less
than two terms. Nearly half of the
number completed the heaviest work
of the course; that is. they finished
all the preparatory course, and the
Freshman ,'ear and most of the Soph-
omore year in the collegiate course.
College Faculties regard as well
grounded in the general principles of
practical education and III character,
the young man who completes his
Sophomore year. If he has the per-
severance, after an outdoor life on
the farm, to learn the paradigms. to
plod through his Caesar, Cicero, Vir-
gil, his Xenophon and Homer; to
master his Algebra and Euclid, it will
be found that he is already trained to
take high place in life.
Opposite each name I give the yeal
of matriculation. and also the address
of each when a student. Even in the
intervening years that are omitted in
the list, there were some Welsh in at
tendance. The omission of a year
shows that none were matriculated
that year:

Catarrh to CONSUMPTION.

Catarrh in its destructive force stands next to and
leads consumption. 1t is therefore
singular that those afflicted with this fearful diease
should not make it the object of their lives rid
themselves of 1t. Deceptive remedies concocted by
ignorant pretenders to medical knowledge have weak
ened the cOnfdenc of the great majority of sufferers
in all advertised remedies. They become resigned to
life of misery rather than torture themselves with
doubtful palliatives.
But this viii never do. Catarrh st be met at
cry stage and combaed with all our might. In many
cases the disease has assumed dangerous symptoms.
The bones and cartilage of the the organs of
hearing of seeing and of tasting affected be

cough.
